 Ole Gunnar Solskjaer compares Cristiano Ronaldo to Michael Jordan 

Following the 2-2 draw against Atalanta, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer compared Cristiano Ronaldo to NBA and Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. During the time Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan guided the team to six NBA Championship titles in the 1990s. Solskjaer in his statement said,  "We all have our roles and responsibilities. Cristiano is a leader in the group, but that's what he does: he scores goals. We're not happy conceding two goals. Both of them are very, very fine margins. The first one I think should be off, the second one is a centimetre onside, probably. He's maybe offside last season, it's fine margins. But he does provide those moments.

He further said, "I'm sure Chicago Bulls didn't mind having Michael Jordan either. Sometimes the teams have the players they have and that's why they are at Man United and why they are champions at Chicago Bulls, you come up with those moments. Cristiano is getting better and better for us, he's feeling better. He's not had a proper pre-season, now he's getting better and better and he's feeling up to speed now."
